Our Writer's Notebook was a free entry today; students who needed a topic were asked to tell about their favorite childhood memory. (Third period also wrote the entry for Tuesday, December 1. Go to that day's blog entry for the topic.)
We looked at the Embedding Quotes handout. Then we watched a video about quote bombs (on Classroom). I hope these lessons have helped students become more confident in embedding quotes in their writing.
Working in groups, students chose a prompt from the 501 Prompts packet (on Classroom) and composed an opening paragraph with a strong claim. Then we shared our openings and predicted what the next paragraph would include. If we couldn't predict the next paragraph, you might need to improve your claim. (Absent students should complete this individually and have it ready for Monday.)
